Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (or 3/4 cup fresh raspberries, chopped)
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Drizzle of melted white chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Make the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried raspberries (or fresh raspberries) and white chocolate chips, if using.

3. Scoop and Bake:

  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

4. Cool and Decorate:

  1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate for added flair.

Notes

  • If using fresh raspberries, pat them dry and fold them in gently to avoid overmixing.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a more vibrant raspberry flavor, increase the amount of freeze-dried raspberries to 3/4 cup.
